| Maggies and Wells Audio together douglas_schroeder"enrichment" "wider experience" aaaah, there are the tickets to ride that I must have been missing. But at least I now have a couple of new terms to add to the old audiophile lexicon. :)After decades of fiddling with this and that... | |
| Maggies and Wells Audio together @douglas_schroeder I haven’t heard nearly enough speakers to have the remotest clue of what "the end all, and be all" might be. :) But I will say that I am quite fond of my new-to-me pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Homages. They’re kinda special, I d... | |
| Maggies and Wells Audio together A little late to this game, but I have used an Innamorata with Maggie .7s and the sound was hardly "laid back" as Mr. Schroeder suggests. I think vivid and robust would far more accurate adjectives. | |
| SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE Moon, stars, and a few planets aligned! I am now the ecstatic owner of a pair of pristine, late production (2004) Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage speakers. @daveyf, you are absolutely correct in saying that, as good as the Cremona Auditor M’s are, th... | |
| SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE I hope I’ve not hijacked this thread! The comments regarding the market for used Sonus Faber caught my eye, especially in light of my recent audition of a pair of Guarneri Homage. I confess to being somewhat obsessed with SF in general, and the Gu... | |
| SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE @daveyf Thank you for your comments, sir. I, too, am a big fan of Franco Serblin, may he RIP. He left us far too soon. The Italians are masters at creating beauty. I lived and worked in Italy during my younger days and have first-hand knowledg... | |
| SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE @daveyf No, I do not think I will find a superior-sounding speaker for $5995 and that’s an excellent way to put it, sir. Thank you. The GH’s of which I speak, are in virtually perfect condition.I am using Cremona Auditor M’s in my small, dedicated... | |
| SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE Is $5995 too much to pay for a nice pair of Guarneri Homage? I think so, but I'm tempted to "haggle" with the local dealer but I am not sure what a "good, fair" price on them would be. No boxes or any other packing material, but with original sta... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k @mayoradamwest Just curious, is your listening room acoustically-treated? Forgive me if I missed that in your earlier comments. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k There's always going to be something or other that some people are convinced is better. And of course, there are the relativity and contingency factors. Not to mention subjectivity. :) | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k It seems that past a point (the point being relative and with many variables) some folks are listening primarily to what their equipment does or does not do, the music is the conduit.Hobbies manifest in a myriad of ways. Audio is one of the more ... | |
| Classe vs. Anthem vs. Parasound I recently auditioned an Anthem Integrated played through Focal Sopra 1. "Dry" is understating the nature of the sound. I found it grating and edgy, overall quite unpleasant. YMMV. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Is there anyone here who believes that the more a component costs, the "better" it will sound? It seems to me that the variables are great and are always relative. One more somewhat rhetorical question, what constitutes musical satisfaction for ... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k @zprrI I was quoted $250 by local dealer for him to send a tech to my home with the amplifier I was interested in at the time, set it up, and give me a couple of days to audition. It seemed quite reasonable to me.No dealer in his/her right mind wo... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I just remembered an astonishing audio experience that I was fortunate enough to have a couple of years ago. Someone I know, who happens to review for one of the major audiophile publications, invited me to hear his All-Gamut system. At the risk... |
